Hi,

Good day! Thank you for posting your query in our community. We are happy to help you.

Based on your description, you want to use shortcut for merge cells in Excel for Mac. I tested it on my side, and you can assign a shortcut to Merge cell command by yourself:

You can open Excel > go to Tools tab > Customize Keyboard... ;
Select Home Tab in the Categories > search "merge" in the search box, and select the "Merge and Center" command;
In the Press new keycoard shortcut window, press the shortcut you want to assign to the command(please make sure the shortcut is not assigned to another command)

Sincerely,

Just a word of advice... not from me but from dozens of authoritative Excel users over decades of experience: Avoid Merged Cells at all cost. To paraphrase MVP John McGimpsey, 'Merged cells are spawn of the devil'. They prevent the use of many features & can cause corruption which renders the file unusable.
